I am thinking about trying my hand at dressmaking, having not done it for years and liked the look of the pattern in this month's Sew magazine. Only problem is it only goes up to a size 16 and I am an 18. Can I just add a half an inch to the pattern when I cut it out? Will it still produce something that looks vaguely like the picture on the packet or will the proportions be all wrong?
Any advice, gratefully received. Thanks
